Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

For those of us that regularly plow large tracts of land using manual tools, this is an extremely useful unit. Anyways, if that isn't a usual activity for you, an acre is an area of 10 square chains, or roughly an area 1 mile long and 8 feet wide.
That might be accurate but that's like the worst way to imagine the area.
You could have just said about 220 feet in each direction.
8 miles long, 1 foot wide... I'm pretty sure that's worse.
